Great read, thx for sharing

I've been experimenting with a side project: www.glancereport.com, which pulls the top headline from a variety of news sources. You can also sort these headlines by neutral, progressive, or conservative sources.

I'm still learning how to play with Python and Redis, and it's not perfect, but would love feedback.

"A tax paid university should not be a third-world aid program."

HBS now has courses like Building Sustainable Cities and Reimagining Capitalism, both courses created in response to what I presume is student interest in subjects beyond the profit maximization motive.

Outside of a few courses and a few class discussions within each course that are centered in exploring social value, the overwhelming majority of the experience requires students to check their social mindsets at the door and think like stewards of shareholder value.

One of the saddest parts about the HBS classroom is its reliance on student participation and student-led learning. While this is an effective way of training students to assert their opinions, I have seen several circumstances in which groupthink and conformist pressure keeps the "social" viewpoint at the margins of the in-class discussion. HBS just isn't the place for critically thinking about anything other than profit and loss.

In the US, the alternative to this would be to consume organic produce. However, most people don't realize that organic produce still uses plenty of, if not more pesticides than traditional production methods; they just use organic pesticides.

I wonder which is worse: highly mechanized, high efficiency, and low volume synthetic pesticides in traditional production methods - or low efficiency, high volume natural pesticides in organic production methods.

So does anyone know where to find stats on student debt amounts outstanding, the maturity schedules, and the proportion of variable rate to fixed rate debt? I'm curious to see how vulnerable the country is to default risk should interest rates move upward or some other shock to the economy take place.

Isn't that called crowdfunding?

You should consider distilling your pitch into something more digestible for consumers. I had to reread those 2 paragraphs twice and I still don't fully understand what product or service I'm supposed to buy into.

Hope that helps.
